Home Remedy

A simple remedy for stomachache.   When you eat food that weighs you down, sometimes you feel a slight pain in the abdomen. At first it is somewhat tolerable, but with the passage of time the pain increases and you can no longer even move and you place yourself in a "bolita" position.

Her way to relieve it was to get a more or less large blanket, enough to cover the abdomen and chest. After getting it, the next thing I did is heat the blanket by ironing it, until it was very very hot and put it on the abdomen of the person who felt bad, and so on until it cooled down and repeated the process again about 5 times. She said that the body needs estra at room temperature and that due to the cold the stomach and intestines contract causing pain and spasms. She also supplem...

Exotic food from another land

The ふぐ (fugu) sashimi or puffer fish The puffer fish is the most toxic fish in the world and is considered the second most poisonous vertebrate it is one of the favorite dishes of the Japanese. The toxicity of pufferfish is comparable to that of cyanide or strychnine. Tetradotoxin is found mainly in the liver, ovaries and skin of fish - it varies by species within the family - even after boiling, so its preparation is highly complex and dangerous. The only way to cook it is by carefully extracting these organs and, in the case of the skin, with great care and for specific parts of the animal so that it does not contaminate the meat. Legend has it that puffer fish was banned in Japan between the 17th and 18th centuries because many people died from eating it at home. Finally, the government of Japan decided to legalize it as long as its capture, consumption and sale were governed by strict regulations. To cook it in Japan you must have a special permit. But, if it is so dangerous, why i...

  The race only for the brave. Every year at the end of October, the Polar Circle Marathon is held in Greenland, the largest ice island in the world. It is a 42 kms marathon. It is one of the most exclusive races in the world since logistics in the area limits the number of participants to a total of 250.

Marathoners often come across oxen, reindeer and other animals that inhabit the Arctic desert and due to the danger of falling into a crevasse, runners are strictly prohibited from leaving the route marked on the ice sheet. An international team of doctors and nurses is available before, during and after the marathon. The race takes place every year, at the end of October. Starting at 8:30 am and takes place in Kangerlussuaq, a town in Greenland. The Polar Circle Marathon has been or...
